Topper site in middle of comet controversy by Peggy Binette -- Albert Goodyear, an archaeologist in USC's College of Arts and Sciences, is a co-author on the study that upholds a 2007 PNAS study by Richard Firestone, a staff scientist at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Firestone found concentrations of spherules (micro-sized balls) of metals and nano-sized diamonds in a layer of sediment dating 12,900 years ago at 10 of 12 archaeological sites that his team examined. The mix of particles is thought to be the result of an extraterrestrial object, such as a comet or meteorite, exploding in the earth's atmosphere. Among the sites examined was USC's Topper, one of the most pristine U.S. sites for research on Clovis, one of the earliest ancient peoples.

Good news!

A thought ~ where did all the Aztec gold come from?

The Spanish found plenty of silver but little gold ~ except that which had already been acquired by the Indians. Which Indians is also a good question.

As DeSoto moved North from the Gulf of Mexico he asked the Indians where to find gold. They'd point further North.

Just so happens that was the correct and only answer ~
